Charlie McVeigh, founder of the Draft House pubs and Tom Harrow of WineChap face off ahead of their series of Extreme Grape Vs Grain events.
The Draft House Tower Bridge will host the four events. At each event, McVeigh will pitch four of his favourite beers against four of Harrow's favourite wines from the same region.
The series kicks off with: Extreme Grape vs Grain 1: California Uber Alles. The following three events will take in: England; France and Belgium; and Germany.
Draft House founder Charlie McVeigh said: “It may be fashionable in polite circles to dismiss strong flavours and high ABVs. We shall have no truck with such Namby-Pamby-ism. Extreme Grape & Grain is all about pushing the envelope and seeing what sensory and psychological extremities can remain untouched by our selection of radical, garagiste winemakers and brewers. The turbo-hopped 8-12% beer and fruit and tannin loaded 14-15% wine shall be our bosom companions as the winter nights draw in, and we hope you will too.”
